Book and have fun 🩳👙 - Nice boat trip, okey value for money. Neri, our captain, did a magnificent job, good service and kind all the way! The drivers back and forth, also provided great service. Bring cash for the stop at the beach, prices are high and they don’t take card 😉 Thank you all, for a great ride and more 🇦🇱☀️

An incredible excursion! - The staff is really great!! After checking in at the office, we got the wrong place for the meeting place. Despite this and therefore our delay, the staff was very responsive to our messages and calls. A driver came to pick us up from where we were. He offered us cold (and free) drinks. About the excursion, it was great. The guide is super nice and explains many things. The drinks are also unlimited in the boat. After a stop on the island of Sazan where we had 30 minutes to enjoy and swim (the beach was empty), we left to see the caves where we could swim here too. The staff had planned masks and snorkels to go surface diving. Then we was up to Karaburun beach, where we stayed for 3 hours. There is no room to lie on his towel, but there are deckchairs and umbrellas. No one asked us to pay for these deckchairs that offer a great view. Some other tourists have had to pay but don't be fooled because they don't ask everyone. The return by boat and to the office went very well. For 39€, it's really worth it!!

Amazing day out!! - The trip was value for money that we were invited to the office for a welcome drink before making our way to the speed boats. We made our way to three different locations where we had plenty of time to dip in the water and take amazing pics and vids. The cave is beautiful with a story that comes with it.. Last stop gave us plenty of time to soak in the sun and grab some food. Cash is a must on these trips because many vendors don’t take card. All in all, good trip with amazing staff, Benjamin the captain was especially patient throughout the trip!!

It was ok - Our day started with 6 Albanian (?) guys hogging the front of the speedboat so everyone else was cramped at the back. First stop was Sazan island which is a bit of an anticlimax. In 10 years time it will probably be amazing but for now it really is just an abandoned military camp. Nothing to do aside from wander around derelict buildings or swim from the small beach which you walk to through discarded rubbish from where the boat docks. Water is lovely and clear but there is absolutely NO shelter from the sun beating down on you. Next stop was the cave. Errrmm ok it’s a cave! 🤣 Yes nice and clear water but couldn’t hear what the captain was saying about what they thought its history was. Last stop was at a beach for THREE hours! Sooooo boring! Beach was tiny and steep going into the water. Restaurants didn’t have any salads for lunch only had full meals which I didn’t want. Tried to get on the earlier boat back but the 6 guys had managed to get themselves on so no room left for anyone else. Wouldn’t do this trip again….

The trip was cancelled 30 min before departure - Was cancelled 30 minutes before departure and they had no other tours to offer that day. The next day was unactualized for us due to the long journey. Great disappointment for both children and adults.

Sazan island for 3 and... - Sazan island for 3 and half hour was too much. It was not worth in this hot weather with kids. Looks like they have some deal with the restaurant of the island.
